Well you are right and wrong! Yes there are some sites that you can make money by playing games but you have to participate in real cash games which requires you to spend money, its just like those credit card reward programs, where you get point or cash back for spending specific amount of money, and the more you spend the more you earn. Which is a very bad or good(depends on how you look at it) way making money by telling you to buy a dollar bill for $10 !
But, the game sites that i am talking about, are not those, these sites are completely free to join, and do not require you to spend any money in order to make money. There is a very simple idea behind this.
